It could stay as sap and not want to nucleate or be whipped into a badder/budder. I had issues with a 3:1 cbd:THC strain.

I think it mite be cloudy if u strait blast into Mason jar unless ur running a column with jacket on in my opinion

Thanks. Sounds correct. Not on my to do list. 
That would be @TortuousS almost a year agoā¦ and I was not particularly supportive of the concept then.
but I misread the auto-correct or typo āā¦freeze with a blendā¦ā to mean they were planning on using a blended gas mix directly into a jar.

are you willing to talk more about your process? I donāt dewax or blast cry cold as well and our product is still coming out good but not quite like this haha let me know
Hey! So Iāve made sauce before with no cold crash tech just blast, jar up and let sit and they come out great but Iām looking to get a bigger crystal formations and clarity so I tried out the cold crash. I wash with N-Butane at cryo temps (condensing coil in dry ice bucket with iso), no dewax column, and once I jar it up I throw it in my cryo freezer @ -76C.
After two days two of the jars froze almost solid, real thick and waxy looking, the other kept the same oil color and was more of a syrup consistency. I didnāt get that thca crash on the bottom I was looking for, is it because of the no dewaxing column? Not enough solvent in the jars? Iām pretty surprised by how much fats I still pick
up on these, even with the cold temps I use.
You donāt have enough solvent, but cold crash isnāt a must

make sure you start with more solvent mixed into it. crash it at room temp for a couple days, burp it, crash it at 80f working up to 85f, good material is a must. after theyāre done strain them and separate then purge for a day

Thank you!
Thanks for the tip man, what temp do you recommend purging the terp fraction? Any vacc?
Hey guys Iām having an issue with this batch if you donāt mind some input. We put this batch of AOG in the miner at 25psi for 3 weeks and just left it alone. My boss popped it on some dry ice for about 10-15 minutes before we cracked it. Opened it up yesterday and a few things Iāve noticed,
- Viscosity seems relatively the same as when I put it in the miner
- Color has gotten darker
- No diamonds or seeding for that matter even.
I poured the mother oil into jars now and I have them with tight lids at 85F but by the looks of it they donāt seem very viscous and Iām worried there is too much solvent left in.
Should I leave them room temp without lids for awhile? Or any tips for getting my mother liquor to the right point to start crashing?
We have achieved separation with other batches of this same strain and even strain batch so I know itās not the strain.

You absolutely had too much solvent in your miner. You need to burp periodically one way or another.
Jars dont require burping bc they leak. 
Be careful leaving too much solvent in. Just remember the rosin boys make diamonds too

Ahhh I heard burping was optional, Iām guessing I was reading about jars and mistook them. Any tips for salvaging what I have? I just popped the lids and have been letting them sit at room temp. Minor reactions occur but now they both seem settled

If its in a jar now just screw the cap on and wait. Leaving the lid off will let the solvent come off too fast.

I appreciate your help very much. I have them sitting with the lids off at 85F because i think there is just way too much solvent in there at the moment. I feel like the last few batches Iāve done i left way to much solvent in the pot but im pulling it at 1/2 pound like the SOP and sometimes even less. Maybe because im having lower yields?

Hows it done in a miner?

Not sure, i use jars. Could be a miner with a flat plate on the bottom. Pour htfse off and drop bottom plate. Just a guess though

I was thinking of laying a price of SS mesh on the bottom of the miner so I can lift it out as one.
